(4) YA Fourteen-year-old Tembe is a member of a Maroon colony of runaway Jamaican slaves who live in the jungle to hide from seventeenth-century British imperialists. This short, complex novel covers so much territory that readers without background knowledge of the Maroon people or Jamaica's past may be confused. A history of the Maroon people is included at the end. Bib.
